“On May 26, two of our servicemen, during their moving to the front-line observation post, were basely abducted by the sabotage and reconnaissance group of the enemy. During the week, nothing was known about the fate of our fighters," reads the report.

The press center noted that the militants may have exerted psychological and physical pressure on the Ukrainian military.

“Now they, according to the information published by the media of one of the pseudo-republics, are alive - and this is the most important, however they are taken captive by enemy. And they are shamelessly used by the invaders for the purposes of pro-Russian propaganda,” the message says.
